Mpika Village of Hope

On our Old Farm we grow various crops including sweet potato, groundnuts and maize. We try to give the children a healthy diet to aid their development, and our aim is to be self-sufficient. The children get involved with our work at the farm, in harvesting and sorting. In 2018 the farm sold enough produce to match the funds raised by our Denholme shop to buy a new tractor. A great success for our hard working farmers.

We have been offered additional land by local Chief Dixon to plant a new farm. The land is a big expanse below a range of hills with the benefit of a stream running through it. The land was mainly scrub, but work started in 2015 and good progress is being made.
